things have been very crazy and hectic here (as i'm sure people will understand) so i don't have much time to post this. in the last month, the babies have come home from the nicu, travis's mom came to visit and cleaned our entire apartment, my dad came to visit, travis's grandparents and uncle came to visit, travis got a cold and gave it to me, ( Read more... )

so, this afternoon, the neonatologist called me to touch base an catch me up on some of the changes they've decided to implement in the boys' treatment plan. they are starting to mix my breast milk with formula to supplement their nutrition and ensure they are getting enough vitamins at a 1:1 ratio. so now they will be offered 40 ccs of milk/ ( Read more... )

alright, so i've been home from the hospital since sunday and things have been okay. everyone i've seen has been pretty shocked to see how active i've been considering i'm recovering from major surgery but i barely even notice it most times. today i've been really tired (lack of sleep catching up to me, i guess) but i feel much better after my ( Read more... )

today travis and i got to hold our babies for the first time. we're going to go back in a little more than an hour, and hopefully get to do it again. : ) words can't describe how happy, relieved, and reassured i am but here's the picture. it's not very good of me - i had been crying - but everyone else is cute!

so tonight, for the first night of chanukkah, i opened my big present from travis since he's been talking about how awesome it is since he bought it a month ago.  he bought me..........

TICKETS TO SEE AVENUE Q WHEN IT'S IN AUSTIN IN APRIL!!!!!!!!!!

hopefully the babies will behave enough for us to get away and see it, but i'm super psyched ( Read more... )

so i'm really happy about today!  first, i got a surprise package from my grandma that was labeled "can be opened before chanukkah" so we opened it.  inside was an awesome menorah (and it looks practically indestructable, so that's good), two chocolate frogs, and a copy of the tales of beedle the bard!  she's so thoughtful!  i called to thank her ( Read more... )

i'm about ready to keel over from the amount of food i have to eat.  when i saw the dietician last week, i didn't update because i didn't think i needed to but now i'm so SICK OF FOOD i just have to vent.  basically, the diet they outlined for me at the endocrinologist's office wasn't high enough in calories or protein for a person of my size and ( Read more... )

so i finished reading breaking dawn yesterday afternoon and now i'm bored again.  now i guess i have to unpack all of the baby stuff we've gotten and make room for it all to fit ( Read more... )
